Zoodles are all the rage these days. Last year for Christmas, Tim gave me a spiralizer. We tried one of the "cheapies" we picked up somewhere for a few dollars, with not great results. This spiralizer works beautifully, producing three different size spirals.

With zucchini is everywhere at the farmers market and an abundance of our garden cherry tomatoes, a perfect time for spiralized salad. I used the thick spiral for this recipe. The spiralizer also makes perfect "noodles" for pasta. At our house, we prefer the real ones! What do you make with your spiralizer?

Directions:

1. For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Use a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles, according to manufacturer's instructions.
Alternately, you can use a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
3. In a large bowl, combine zucchini noodles, tomatoes, feta cheese, and basil. Toss to combine. When ready to serve,
drizzle dressing over salad and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
